Move your head back and forward.

What happensto the

circles?

Focus on just the centre circle

while moving your head

If your eyes follow the movement of the rotating pink dot,

the dots will remain only one color, pink.

However if you stare

at the black " +" in the center, the moving dots turns to green.

Now, concentrate on the black " + " in the center of the picture. After a short period, all the pink dots will

slowly disappear, and you will only see only

a single green dot rotating.

What do you see?

Duck or rabbit – or both?

How many legs does the elephant have?

Julian Beever creates pavement art. Many of his creations are optical

illusions, such as this one, where he appears to be perched on a ledge, waiting for Batman and Robin to

climb the building and rescue him.

In reality, there is just pavement in front of him – the rest is a 'trick the

eye'.

Can you see the Shark in the picture above. The trick is not to focus directly on the image but

try to focus on a point through the image. With a bit of patience and relaxation you CAN do it.
